Chelsea Fringe at the Garden House
Posted:1 May 2014
We are delighted to be part of the Chelsea Fringe and have invited two of our favourite artists/tutors to teach courses during the Fringe celebrations using the early summer garden as inspiration.
Waterworks: Mondays
26 May, 2 and 9 June, 1.30 4.30pm
Kate Osborne will show you how to be more expressive with your artwork! She says: “I now work very freely in watercolour, with the minimum of compositional drawing; this gives the paintings an unpremeditated look, which attempts to express the beautiful but transitory nature of the subject matter.”
With Kates support you will investigate various ways of using watercolour, mixing it with other mediums such as crayon, watercolour sticks, ink, wax and collage, and using these expressively create your own images. See Kates website for more inspiration www.kateosborneart.com but contact us to book!
Cost: £100 – to include tea and cake
Paper Collage: Wednesdays 21 & 28 May, & 4 June , 1.30 4.30
pm
Through her work in paper collage, Jane Robbins combines her lifelong interests in flat pattern, patchwork and found objects – mixing them together to produce new decorative images. Collage is a flexible and forgiving method of producing a creative image, as well as being completely engrossing, and you will be inspired by Jane’s own work and method.
With Jane’s gentle encouragement you will enjoy the process of experimenting with paper collage, and with the three sessions have the time and peace to produce a final framed piece of work. See Janes website for more inspiration www.janerobbins.co.uk but contact us to book!
Cost: £100 – to include tea and cake
